There's apparently a mail going around to different people's phones that says they have won a free PSX.
Big suprise, it's a fake.

Sony made an official announcement o­n the 18th regarding mails to cellular phones that say users have won a free PSX "DESR-5100 (Ltd. silver)." They have said "This has no relation whatsoever with Sony."

The mail is being sent from the "info@sony.co.jp" address, where it is stated that readers have won a limited edition silver PSX. "We thank your patronage to Sony these days," reads the mail, and it then requests readers fill out a form o­n a linked page with their shipping address.

Sony has announced that "Although we have received confirmation enquiries from some customers, this has nothing to do with Sony or any Sony Group company."

The silver model of the DESR-5100 will be released along with a new version of the white model o­n July 1st. The quantity has not yet been announced.
